I use Verbatim BD-25 media, have never had one to skip or glitch in any way, and I can tell absolutely no difference in the original and the back ups in either picture or sound quality, and that is with an 82 inch TV and a 7.1 surround sound system. I honestly do not see how the two pass high quality settings would make my back ups any better. If those options are needed to make a high quality DVD-5 or DVD-9 I will gladly trade 15 extra hours for the $2.00 difference in price per disc.
Forgot to tell you that I am doing BD-9 backups, which is more compression. Probably why it takes longer.
